Re: Goblin 570 Build thread

That's it then. I wont be buying one of those. I don't get that problem with HK LOL. That is a shame. I found that happening with both fusano canopies
I brought, they both crack. I think they are to brittle and should be made with material with a little give in it. Carbon and GF are
okay strength wise but in my opinion a different material should be used. The resins especially GF dry out in time and become extremely brittle
I have some aircraft that are 10/15 years old and just a little flexing they crack.

Same happened (and is still happening) to my Gobby. The canopies are brittle.

Re: Goblin 570 Build thread

First test flight accomplished
All I can say is LOCKED IN!!!!!!
Tail is SO LID
Blades tracking perfectly.
I set head speed for 65% and 75% just to test.
65% give a tiny bobble
75% is locked
Just charging again for second more adventurous flight
Heres the boring test flight.

Re: Goblin 570 Build thread

Just got back from second flight. Camera didn't record
But gave it a little bit of wind under its wings. A bit of inverted.
All good in the hood so far.

Re: Goblin 570 Build thread

Okay, we need to initiate a NEW RULE!!!! All flights must have redundant cameras!!!! There are WAY TOO MANY recording failures in here lately!!! lmao.

That thing sounds great. You always know a Goblin by the sound of that tail.

Yeah this camera thing is getting old.


That hover felt like the longest hover ever.

Re: Goblin 570 Build thread

Ready for its second outing.
I have set up the Ikon Governor.
Took a spare Spektrum Sat cable, removed two of the wire.
Cut it to the correct length and attached a single pin the end, with the plug on the other.
The pin plugs into the aux cable from the CC Edge ESC.
Lets see how it works.
